Seriously though, WOW was fine. Flew on a new-plane-smell A320neo and they even have a little tray at eye level to put your mobile device on for easier watching.

Down to below 22c in Singapore this week. I actually tuned the AC off for the night and left the windows open.

Interesting Jack as I've never had a flu shot and have never been laid up with the flu in my adult life. Ever. The occasional cold, sure, but never have suffered the flu like some friends so hopefully that makes me immune.

Which is not surprising, as UBC Student Health is completely swamped, no appointments were available for booking until 21 days later

Even though H3N2 may have also mutated, making the vaccine less effective against it, some protection is better than none.

Point of concern though:

Somehow, the current bout of -4 weather in Norway feels worse than the -40 weather I experienced in Edmonton a few weeks ago.

Weeks ago? It was "experienced" again yesterday. ;)

When you say "Just wait till summer" you mean in YYT? Because it's windy AF this week too.

Humidity, wind, etc all have much to do about how you feel about temperature. I once encountered -10 in a humid, windy situation, unbearable. So it's probably not you getting weaker :p



Every time I visit HKG/KUL/SIN in summer, I got hit with thunder storm followed by +35 degree temperature pretty much everyday. The good thing is that a quick trip down there will make me stop complaining the summer in YYZ.

And YYT has summer? I thought it's only winter, spring, and fall. :D

summer in YYT is a hidden gem, it is only 3 days long (according to Rick Mercer).

I'm growing fond of it.

AC has a few of those.

Though I feel like over here on the AC forum, we prefer to say "did they say R space was required?"

To address the problem of multiple new threads, FT is introducing a new capability, "branded threads". Superficially, a title might look like a particular thread is about Air Canada, or the best hotels Singapore ... but the actual content of the thread is now actually dependent on the thread code. The thread code is easy to determine; all you need to do is view the HTML, and the head element will have a two letter suffix indicating the actual purpose of the thread. It's easy!

I'm looking at options, and it seems like I'd need a "counter electric" model. It's a little taller than I'd like (it would block access to a significant amount of cupboard space), but I don't want a system that needs to be constantly topped up with ice.

In addition to the "require R space" BS, I will begin using IWATA and MOLA from this point on.
